Today, just under 75% of our students attended a field trip to the theatre to see the new movie WONDER! In class, prior to leaving and after returning, students CIRCLED IT UP to discuss the issues of bullying, social isolation, and displaying empathy.

We will continue building upon these lessons in future Advisory meetings. Students and staff will also be asked to look for the good that happens at Stout on a daily basis. Classrooms have forms so that students and staff can submit the examples of kindness and empathy; these will be displayed on a bulletin board.

As Mr. Tushman encourages the students in WONDER, we too should “practice more kindness than we need to”.

AGENDA: (1) Studied prefixes with a partner for today’s quiz, (2) Prefix quiz, (3) Read for SSR, (4) Discussed the impact an author’s personal life might have on his/her writing, (5) Watched a video about the life of Charles Dickens, author of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, (6) Dismissal countdown
